When I started playing eve, every pvp encounter was an adrenaline rush...
Now, its just click, click, click, win or lose, its all exactly the same as shooting red crosses in a mission...flavourless. i dont even bother opening wrecks anymore, unless its a juicy capital or a t3.
anyone actually managed to maintain their rush after 8+ years?

If you do something frequently, it's going to lose its appeal eventually. Being primarily an explorer, I get a rush from PVP experiences just about every time because I do it so infrequently. Consequently, whenever I get a big drop from clearing a site, I just shrug it off now as something that's to be expected. |

I was shooting an elite pvp tengu fleet recently...
We were almost perfectly safe in a blob of carriers, using our -perfectly balanced- sentry drones to shoot cruisers to death. Furthermore, they didn't even bother trying to shoot us, it was not possible for them to break our spidertank anyway.
The badguys didn't even login any dreads or supers because of our -power projection-.

I know some manage to keep it for a while by flying more and more expensive fits so they have more on the line when they pvp (such as barghests with officer points just for the comedy of the point range etc), but even that fades eventually.
Just be content that you probably ruined someone else's day. |

Solo yes, in fleets no. Also check the wrecks. I was once with fleet and was chasing some guy in line to 2 celestials. We all warped to both celestials at different ranges and I found 2 dessie wrecks.Opened one and found out it had 30k void ammo. So I got me tons of ammo to waste for my future pvp for free. |

I've never really had an adrenalin rush from pvp as such. I enjoy it immensely and the first fight I had hooked me to the game, but it's never been about an emotional response.
For me it's more about analysis of the situation - analysing how and what my opponent is flying and what I can do to counter that or put myself in the best position to win.
That sounds kind of clinical and boring, but to me it's not. The critical thinking and making decisions quickly is what I enjoy so much.
That will never go away I hope, but LS I also hope you find your enjoyment of it again.

Taking on a frigate fleet in 4-5 Long range Interceptors. Barely managing to hold point while barely staying outside the enemy scramrange (or failing to do so).

Even though I've been at it more than a decade, I still get a panic attack when my squad comes up on a flight of HE111s and I'm sitting in a wood and cloth Hurricane with 30 seconds of ammo. Nothing kicks the adrenaline in like bouncing a bunch of bombers from the sun, knowing they are guarded by a group of expert players flying Emils that can shred you in a second.
Oops...wrong game. Uh...EVE...it's like playing horseshoes for PVP excitement. You need immersion to suspend disbelief and a third person spaceship clickfest just doesn't cut it. I have yet to feel more than mild interest in what's happening on the field of battle in this game.

Raise the risk factor.
EVE PvP rush is all about the risk of losing something. Unless you tell me that you frequently do Titan's drive-by, drop Nyx on thrasher or fly 5bil Orthruses against overwhelming odds, I don't think the fun has ended for you yet. |

It all comes down to experience in pvp and your situational awareness.
I very very rarely get an adrenaline rush in pvp anymore either, apart from rare moments.
90% of the time going into a fight, i know the enemy, and I know my own skill and ship well enough to know that i'll either obliterate them without much of a fight, or I will have the option to GTFO if needed.
As for fleets, I know my corp mates and my FC are competent enough to make the right calls and keep us alive.
And as someone else mentioned, the lack of adrenaline is in fact only a good thing. It ensures you're on top of your game, and you're not getting tunnel visioned. This is also beneficial to your fleet, and you should consider FC'ing or flying Logi since you will be able to multitask like a baws without the tunnel vision and the "Wtf am i doing lol" feeling.
And because I have this level of confidence, knowing what fights to take and which to avoid, I eliminate pretty much all the risk. It's just a matter of, as you said, warp in, click, click, boom.
And as for the times when i DO get an adrenaline rush, it's the moment when I'm outside my own comfort zone, and I'm not 100% sure as to what the outcome will be. |

Here's how I look at it, to me it's not "what if I lose this 3 bil costing hilarious OP ship while knowing it really isn't gonna happen because the targets are dumb or in the wrong ships while I have scouts, RR, links and backup", but rather "what can I get away with in this T1/cheap T2 ship, all solo, that really shouldn't kill anything and how many can I kill before (if) they manage to take me down".
Increasing risk due to cost doesn't work, you have to increase risk by... increasing risk; get into a situation with a ship that SHOULD lose, and then try to pull it off anyway. People get bored because they play it safe and are afraid of losing a ship to a point where they invest so much (isk wise, fleet, organisation) that they really can't lose.
Yes, yes-áI am. Thanks for noticing.

If deer hunters quite hunting the second they got control of their buck fever the insurance agencies would be crying tears to fill the ages.
EDIT: This was a metaphor used to support those who previously implied that you need to realign your goals so as you can find new love for your favorite game.
I have gotten adrenaline rushes every time I have been in combat....which is not very many so yes, I am sure it would hit again if I got into a fight, but sadly I will have to let my account expire for the indefinite future, so I hope you find your new fun soon. |

I'm pvp'ing in wspace with a cloaky proteus and since i play solo i only feel it before engaging thinking if that ship could be a bait, but even then i minimize all the risks spending a few days in a system observing the dwellers. Then when i know their routines i attack and stay for maybe 2 days. Then i look for another system with some activity. Ofc i could do yolo engages but i prefer the patience of the hunting game and obviously to keep my t3 alive.
If you pvp with a gang, i understand why are you not having too much fun. Follow broadcasts and that's all.

New player here.
I get what you mean, back in 2004 when I was playing a different online game, I always had a rush when jumping into the PvP aspect of the game. But once I started to understand the mechanics of the game and what counters what. That rush faded. Basically I could have started to guess the outcome of the match because of knowledge.
But at the moment I get that rush when just flying around in a venture while I know there is some sort of competition on killing them. Basically because I Have No Idea What I'm Doing
I'm sure once I get my feet nice and wet and start to learn the game, said rush will fade with it.

Increase the bets. Ofc you do not feel anything if you are gambling with pocket change. Put something on line which takes 10 .. 200 hours of your time to replace and it will start tingling a little. Put a week of your grind time on line and you will most likely feel the rush.
Does not need to be a super. A blinged out pirate BS in low sec might do the trick.

I used to get crazy adrenaline rushes when I first started the game, I'd have shaking hands as I warped my pirate rifter into belts and plexes - chasing my prey.
It was undeniably due to the risk and potential gain that would be decided as soon as I landed at my destination.
4-5 years later I don't feel it anymore, as odd as it may seem. I would love to give up all my wealth and experience to do it again. But this game has dulled my excitement, I can't get rid of my experience or knowledge so I can't feel that first-time excitement that was so addicting that I've spent the rest of my EVE career chasing it. |

I have bitter vets disease on world of tanks. Honestly I could complain so much about premium ammo for free currency ruining armor, and luck over skill. The pro stat people also generally run specific tanks with all premium ammo and in platoons with friends. They do have specific strategies but yeah, skill DOES have a part in it, and your average player is playing a game of luck regardless.
Eve on the other hand I do get a rush. If they are shield fit (ancillaries) I know I am screwed. Otherwise I just hope for the best. Nearly killing a thorax and a Brutix with a Tristan on my own was a hell of a rush. I could have killed them both, but I am horrible at range control and the thorax was out of point range and warped out with some hull, then I went to pick up his drones and the Brutix screwed off cuz I left him out of my point range.
They both escaped because I flew out of their point range. Also letting a condor die in my navitas costed a corp mate his battle cruiser because the condor was primary and speed tanking most of the damage for me to rep him. Course I micro warped out of range.
I concentrate on one task, then get to far or get to close. We had a 3vs1 against mavlite, he was starting to run low, then I stop paying attention to range and got my rep frigate caught. We were all somewhat new when that happened, not knowing he was a pro and not even knowing off grid boosting existed.
Yeah. Ima go to sleep now lol.
I enjoy a good session of mining. |
